Post by agteacher2 »

Mammoth Ivory and brass bolsters still rough, but it's so hot I had to call it a day.
I like it so far.

Little Work knife with bark mammoth ivory

Post by agteacher2 »

Finished Product

The ivory had a void in one edge, as bark ivory is known, for so I stabilized it with Zap-a-gap and sanded it smooth and buffed it to a gloss

NICE!!!!! ::nod::

I love seeing a mirror finish on great looking knives. It's a shame people don't like mirror polishes as much anymore.

Great job!
God Bless!

Thanks Craig,

I like a mirror finish but it does take more time.
It's sure hard to keep it on these high carbon blades.

I'm glad you like it Phil. I have a new makers mark stencil and etching machine on the way and I still need to make this one it's own sheath. Then it will ready to go.

Thanks for looking,
